Development of a Digital Patient Assistant for the Management of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome: Patient-Centric Design Study

Development of a Digital Patient Assistant for the Management of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome: Patient-Centric Design Study

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disorder of gut-brain interaction with idiopathic etiology and is characterized by recurrent, stereotypical episodes of incapacitating nausea and vomiting [1]. Symptoms last from hours to days and episodes are interspersed with varying lengths of intervals with no or minimal symptoms [2-5]. CVS affects an estimated 2% of adults and 1.1% of children in the United States [2,6].

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Use of Spinal Anesthesia in Pediatric Laparoscopic Appendectomies: Case Series”

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Use of Spinal Anesthesia in Pediatric Laparoscopic Appendectomies: Case Series”

Yes, the presence of postoperative nausea or vomiting was a binary response. We agree that the attempts to correlate pain scores with anesthesia were going to be confounded by the analgesics, which is why we had those figures as supplemental material. However, this was described in the manuscript proper, which we have since removed (and the supplemental figures as well). We have left the incidence of vomiting as a measure of patient comfort in the paper.

Additional information that can be provided to strengthen case-control studies, which this manuscript could benefit from (see Moola et al [2]) include: Were the groups comparable apart from the choice of anesthetic (and age)—were underlying medical conditions, weight, family history of postoperative nausea and vomiting, developmental history similar? Was the presence of postoperative nausea or vomiting a binary measure?

Use of Spinal Anesthesia in Pediatric Laparoscopic Appendectomies: Case Series

Use of Spinal Anesthesia in Pediatric Laparoscopic Appendectomies: Case Series

Results pertaining to incidence of vomiting up to 5 hours and after 6 hours postoperation are provided in Table 2. The odds ratios (ORs) for the incidence of vomiting based on administration of general anesthesia are also provided with 95% confidence limits. For the case of After 6 hours postoperation, the same null hypothesis was only rejected for the entire cohort, females, and the younger age bracket of 5-6–year-old patients.

Smartphone App to Self-Monitor Nausea During Pediatric Chemotherapy Treatment: User-Centered Design Process

Smartphone App to Self-Monitor Nausea During Pediatric Chemotherapy Treatment: User-Centered Design Process

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting are among the most common and burdensome side effects that are experienced by children who are undergoing cancer treatment [1,2]. The symptoms are often accompanied by profound physical and psychological consequences, including dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, weight loss, and disruption of normal childhood activities [1,2].

The Effects of Foot Reflexology on Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Patients with Digestive System or Lung Cancer: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The Effects of Foot Reflexology on Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Patients with Digestive System or Lung Cancer: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In addition to the emetogenicity of the chemotherapy, various parameters may be associated, including risk factors (age, gender, alcohol use, history of motion sickness, and history of pregnancy-related vomiting) [12], treatment compliance [18] and the perceptual gap between health professionals and patients [19,20].

A Fully Integrated Real-Time Detection, Diagnosis, and Control of Community Diarrheal Disease Clusters and Outbreaks (the INTEGRATE Project): Protocol for an Enhanced Surveillance System

A Fully Integrated Real-Time Detection, Diagnosis, and Control of Community Diarrheal Disease Clusters and Outbreaks (the INTEGRATE Project): Protocol for an Enhanced Surveillance System

Traditional surveillance methods tend to detect point-source outbreaks of diarrhea and vomiting; however, they are less effective at identifying low-level and intermittent contamination of the food supply, unless the organism is very rare. Furthermore, it may take up to 9 weeks for infections to be confirmed by a reference laboratory, reducing recognition of slow-burn outbreaks that can affect hundreds or thousands of people over a wide geographical area.
